Council declares 405 Woodvale Lane a public nuisance after code update
Summary
Following an update from code enforcement, the Homewood City Council voted 5–0 to declare the property at 405 Woodvale Lane a public nuisance to allow city abatement if the owner does not complete cleanup. Code staff reported ongoing work and expected additional contractor action within a week to 10 days.
Code enforcement staff updated the council on remediation efforts at 405 Woodvale Lane, owned by Eric and Von Butler, and recommended declaring the property a public nuisance to resolve the longstanding maintenance issue if owner remediation stalls. The council moved and approved the declaration by a unanimous vote, recorded as resolution 26 82.
Code enforcement said current photos taken the day of the meeting showed progress but that rain and ongoing vegetation have slowed the work; the officer said the owner had arranged LoanCare services to remove debris and vegetation and “he hopes that that'll be done in the next, week to 10 days.” Council members said the timeline justified declaring a nuisance to allow city abatement if progress stops; the motion carried 5–0.
